Happy Hydroponicing! - Věda a technologie
The part watching the roots grow was super cool and I did not expect that. I was like, why is he cutting a hole in the- ohhhhhhh coooool.
You have to premix the nutes with water and wait before testing. The ph changes as the nutes dissolve further over time.
How long, like 24hrs?
@@DatFabricNo, anthony means to stir longer..nutrients need to be totally dissolved before testing ph and ec.
The hidden treasure of this video is revealing the 60-40 coco-perlite as a supporting medium. Had never thought of this and it seems ideal. Thanks mate!
You put so much effort into this video. Thank you! I loved seeing the roots grow from the inside. The camera set up was genius 👍🏻
You're killing it Hoocho!!! Love it! Keep on Growin' brother!
Cheer Mike mate! I appreciate it.
Dude you delivered! Kratky was what I asked if you could try more of to help me (and many others) and this was a perfect example. Going to try and find a wide shallow container like you mentioned to grow lettuce and spinach. Always a thumbs up on all of your videos man
Wow loved the time lapse and the root part was such a surprise. So cool love how creative you are!
Thanks Kristen!

Well done Hoocho! Your teaching and video production is superb!
Wow! Time lapse of the roots is amazing footage! Great video.
Thank you again for my continuing education in hydroponics. Excellent tutorial video.
I absolutely love that you showed them growing! That's so awesome!
I've watched a lot of hydroponic vids - trying to learn the best way for me to approach it. This is by far the best. Thanks Hoocho.
Amazing! You did an awesome job with both the grow setup and the video. Thank you.
I just finished a gravity gutter system based on your build and am loving the coco perlite. Can't wait for it to be warm enough for me to my my plants out there from indoor dwc!
You have done fantastic work teaching some of us who are just looking into doing hydroponics. Thank you so much for this educative material.
I don't grow anything yet hydroponically I just enjoy watching you and your direct way of sharing this information. I have purchased everything I need to do this and am just awaiting the upcoming food shortage to try... thanks for all your ideas. No bevies today? Love from Canada.
ABSOLUTELY awesome. Very informative and this time lapse video was the best I have ever seen. Love the video!!!
I love the timelapses, they're awesome
One of the best Kratky videos I've seen. Totally to the point, and the time lapse of above and below put this above all others. Nice work. Subbed.
Amazing! The time lapse (with the music) really makes the video. Excellent work and really shows the novice how to get started. Would love to hear more about timing with lights vs. sunlight, etc. in future videos. Thanks!
One of the coolest timelapse bits I've seen... loved that song
I was mesmerized. This was awesome.
What an awesome sound track.... For the growth... I like the guy that choose that....♥️♥️♥️♥️
Excellent time lapse footage. Some of the very first root/reservoir footage on CZcams. pH should naturally increase slightly over time as food is consumed not go down. Most coco growers use specialty coco nutrient formulations or increase calcium and magnesium levels in their nutrient mix even on supposedly buffered coco, as even good coco will hold onto calcium especially. This may have affected/dropped your pH.
Dude you are freaking awesome. I love time lapse videos to prove your point. I just subbed
Really enjoy it watching from the start of seedlings to maturity. Great video and info.
I love watching your plants dance to the music!!
I am getting started on hydroponics and have watched literally hundreds of videos, particularly on Kratky. This one is far and away the best. Subscribed, and sharing with my friends. Thanks for the ton of work you put into making this content, describing the science of the lighting, and overall also explaining what you would do differently. Great job!!
Thankyou for the appreciation!
Look up mhp gardener
@@jerrydunlap6515 thanks for the suggestion
How did it turn out?
I decided that only basil was worth growing Hydroponically for me. I live in California - we can garden outside year- round, and it's much easier and more nutritious than growing Hydroponically.
Getting ready to start this is a week and am really excited about it. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
dude...you're the man! EXCELLENT work and explanation!
Fantastic time lapse.
The video was already hyping me up to the idea of growing my own vegies in my apartment during winter, but when The Fourth Colour came on it got me on another leve! Amazing video thank you for all this info it's incredibly helpful!
Have to agree Amazing to capture in real time via camera Awesome TY!
Woh dude! All the sudden the time-lapse music and stuff.....totally awesome!!!!! Lessgooooooo!!!!
Great info as always!!🌱
SO NEAT with the time lapse camera!! Awesome
Excellent filming!! What an extremely informative video!
That was some awesome Time-lapse footage! Great video. Thank you.
Your vids are the best plant vids. 🐐
Amazing time lapse and that back track King Gizzard…?!??? Love it !
I love the video and the way you set up the camera as the roots grew. Thank you!
I did not know about the oxygen roots, thanks so much.
Timelapse of the roots was amazing haha Thank you!
You have presented the most economical method of a hydroponic setup. I have very limited space. I bought two restaurant utility bus bins which are 7 inches deep and bought the Styrofoam sheets at my home improvement store (Lowes). Bought the cups and used Platonix Coco Coir to plant my seeds in the cup and set them in the nutrient prepared water so it covered about a third of the cup. As my plants developed a root system, I took out a little water so they would have the benefit of some exposure to oxygen as well as the water. I bought a Famurs TF1200 Grow Light and a TDS meter and I check the pH the old fashioned way with solution every other day. My plants are doing fabulous. In just three weeks I can harvest some of my lettuce. Thank you for your video.
I've been looking around for container ideas. A bus bin is a great idea! Thank you!
@@elliotbc I use a cement mixer from Home Depot... holds about 17 gals (with net pots in a cover). I want to say it cost me 11-12 dollars. Black and very sturdy.
You got me at "time lapse" 😃 that was amazing to watch!
Hoochos, I have never seen a time-lapse of roots growing like that before. You have great content. Subbed. I'm currently building a kratky system, but I'm thinking of putting an air stone in with it, in the hopes it will speed up growth.
Thanks for sharing this video..
It will really help especially those who wants to start planting lettuce at home..
Happy planting.. Happy growing..
More blessings to come😇💚
Best hydro channel on YT!
Out of all the grow systems we have watched you design to produce fresh organic vegetables we like the gravity fed system the best. The kids call you Professor Hoocho. The kids try to mimic your accent it's funny to watch them be so enthusiastic about getting a chance growing their own vegetables. Thanks Professor Hoocho.
dude yes. as trying to find a way to grow greens without taking up the space for more important crops this this right here thank you for this
very cool , simple method , fantastic video.
Loved you presentation. Thanks
Time lapse grow was so cool to watch...
Man, you are gold. Love the vudeos and the explanations. Done in a fun and cool way. Really nice. This gives me confidence to try gardening and different techniques
Great Video. Thank you. Very Very interesting
I love this method really works well
Excellent work!
Thank you for this video I got some buckets I’m gonna give it a try
Awesome video. Informative, entertaining, good production work. Nice song choice too.
very very interesting and very practical growing setup Thank you for this instructive video
Great video!
Hoocho, kudos on a superb timelapse with music segment! The big players could learn something from you.
Thanks for the video that provides useful knowledge
loved this video
Great video, even better music!! Haha. I'll watch that timelapse again for sure!
Very healty.Very nice,very green,
Awesome video!!! 😄
Such super cool growing music, especially when playing at 1.5 speed.
excellent video. to riduce the growth in height you can leave only one plant per cup, once you're sure they've germinated. if you leave 3 or 4 together they will compete for light and will tend to grow longer stems
Thanks again!
At 8:00 I'm seeing dry nutrient in the bottoms of the reservoirs. If they are not completely mixed into solution when the pH is adjusted, the pH may drop as they slowly dissolve.
I don't give a damn, but I'm not just anyone...
I'm that guy on your girlfriend's IG, and she's loving every minute of it, patna!
@@bengozzy408 LMAO!! 🤣 sounds like something I'd say
@@bengozzy408 pity the exact same comment and the exact same reply comes up all the bloody time in the comment section in lots of different genres, but funny that the names always changes. The person who automates these bots should cop a bloody hiding, but violence is bad 🤬🤬🤬
If only the "person" would read the response, cause that was gold 👍
Thanks for your knowledge 😊👌
Thank you sir. Your information is perfect🌟🌟🌟
Awesome videos! I've liked every one that I've seen. 👍
Thank you very much for posting this video. I am going to follow your advice to a "T" . I'm in Michigan and I'm heading into the long winter months (though very mild so far) Having greens growing in my house during these months will be so much fun and surely help with my winter blues. I've watched a lot of your videos and they're all great. Please keep up the great work, it's very much appreciated!
Great video, learned a lot, thanks!
Sooo cool! 🥰🥰🥰
Woah that was great! Thank you 😊
Great Video.
Hoocho ! Da man
sacrificed the totem to get those growing root shots, that was epic, thx.
I have just begun my hydroponic/aquaponic journey. While I love gardening, I have been interested in aquaponics for sometime but haven't yet started(next year). Then I came across your channel on hydroponic techniques and have watched quite a few episodes so today I went to Bunnings and just set up a couple of containers using the Kratky method. I have recently purchased a 3d printer and looking at growing ginger the same method you use as I also love ginger beer and ginger mead.
pH changes when the concentration of nutrient solutions changes. In your case I would guess that the concentration of the nutrient solution increased because of the plants drink the water, more nutrient for less water equals to a increase in the concentration. This change causes the pH to change too. Would you agree ?
I have experienced this, especially when it's dry out vs humid.
I just came across your video on Hydroponics and loved it. I loved the way you showed, what was required, the tools need and alternatives should you not have a drill. Fantastic. The way you explain the materials needed, the setup, the time lapse (agree with Cheerfully Twisted on the time lapse) and the end result was refreshing. Because of it, I've started to subscribe (loved the way you didn't ask to subscribe and click the bell - did that too).
Amazing video!
Loved this. Following
Awesome and impressive 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey there from the beach in south Mississippi, thanks for your videos, entertaining.
